First Post, First Book

Well, this is it. I've never written a blog before but I've actually been thinking about starting this for over a year. I read all sorts of books and I always am looking for new things to read. One of my favorite things about books, other then reading them, is to share them with other people.

If you have any book suggestions for me I would love to hear them and to write a post about what I thought.

Blackout by Connie Willis

I am calling this a historical science fiction, if such a thing exists. With multiple characters throughout the whole of WW2, this book has incredible detail and scope throughout the entire war in England. 

It incorporates many different aspects of the war all as seen by time-traveling historians who find themselves cut off from their own time in 2060 and forced to try and wait out the war.

I loved this book so much but I forewarn anyone that reads this that it does not have any sort of conclusion. This and the sequel are really one story that has been split into two books. 

I haven't read the second book yet though I have been told that it is even better then this one. It's 491 pages and combined with the next book, All Clear, it's close to a thousand pages so it's not exactly what you'd call a quick read.
